District H

District H in Seattle’s South Lake Union district is a premium Korean-focused grocery store and food hall concept — part of the H Mart family with a sleeker, more curated urban format compared with larger suburban supermarkets. It combines a compact Asian grocery section with multiple food stations and prepared-food offerings under one roof, making it a unique destination for both ingredient shopping and casual dining.

Inside, the grocery aisles are stocked with a variety of imported pantry staples, sauces, noodles, snacks, and beverages, alongside fresh produce, chilled items, and a fridge section featuring kimbap and Korean side dishes. While the scale of groceries is smaller than traditional H Mart locations, the selection covers key Korean and broader Asian ingredients for everyday cooking and quick stops.

District H’s standout feature is its food hall and hot food bar, where visitors enjoy Korean favorites such as tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, dumplings, sashimi, and grilled short ribs, alongside grab-and-go meals and a diverse range of prepared dishes that appeal to both lunch crowds and evening diners. Seating is available for dine-in, and the environment draws both local workers and visitors exploring South Lake Union.

This format makes District H feel like a hybrid grocery and casual Korean food destination — not a full-service supermarket, but a well-stocked urban market with lively food options and essentials for home cooking.
